Robbery
P.C.s Bye and Rockett reported to me at ½ past 12 o'clock pm that a man was in at the Dog and Gun Beer Shop who had been robbed I went and saw he was bleeding very much & had been from the time he was Assaulted the blood could not be stopped. I sent for Doctor Wray who would not come, the Mans name is Griffiths and States he is a drover and is returning from Colt Hill Fair, was coming out of Mr. Watsons at the White Swann Public House Castle End about 9 o'clock pm when a tall man with a long dark smock frock on knocked him down and robbed him of one sovereign and half in gold and two half crowns in silver and ran away he believes the man was drinking in the house a short time before. I took Bye and Rockett with
me to the Swann and searched the whole house. I found 9 men Lodgers all appeared to be
drovers. I examined all there cloths saw no marks of blood on them two tall men had smock
frocks belonging to them. I brought them to the complainant who said they was not the men.
The complainant is still at the Dog and Gun Castle End but very much hurt and is left without money. P.S. 4 Watts.
